What are the Cardinals doing?

The 49ers, Seahawks and Rams are all thanking the football gods right now because the Cardinals team that went to the Super Bowl in 2009 and to the second round in 2010 is no longer in Arizona. The Cardinals so far have had the worse off season and it doesn’t seem to be getting any [...]

Was Antonio Cromartie Really a Gamble the Jets Should Have Taken?

Cromartie has shown he can be a good corner back when  he picked off a league high 10 passes in 2007, he also should play better in a defense that can put pressure on the QB.

Brandon Marshall a Seahawk?

Brandon Marshall is scheduled to visit the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. The Broncos only tagged him with a first round pick and the Seahawks have two in this years draft. This is a fantastic move for the Seahawks especially because Jim Bates his old offensive coordinator is the man running the offense in Seattle. 

Pro Bowl Heading Back to Hawaii

The Celtics and Spurs are mirror images of each other

Both of these franchises aren’t even a resemblance of what they were a few years ago. The Celtics are only a year removed as championship and the Spurs last Finals win was in 2007 but both teams look like they sold their soul to the devil and he has come to collect.

Heyward the Next Griffey…I Think Not

Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves has a bright future.
The 20-year-old outfielder has the body and the talent to be great in this league.  People have already compared this kid to the original kid:  Ken Griffey Jr.  But isn’t this comparison coming a little too soon?

2010 MLB Preview—Shortstops

Not too long ago the shortstop position in baseball included some elite players.
Alex Rodriguez, Nomar Garciaparra and Miguel Tejada were all studs.  Remember when those guys all played shortstop?  Well, two out of the three are still in baseball, but not at the shortstop position anymore.

Don’t Compare Steve Alford To Bob Knight

Steve Alford played for Bob Knight in Indiana from 1983-1987 but that doesn’t mean he has the same antics. This is the crap that has been circling around the sports world after he got caught cussing at BYU player Jonathan Tavernari because he was playing to physical on defense.

Nike misspells Kentucky on John Wall’s jersey

College Football

College Football is Becoming a Warm Weather Sport

There is no argument here, it’s fact that warm weather schools are more favorable to young adults. On Big Red Network they looked at all the Nation Champions by the decade and it proves the fact that the better teams are moving South and to warmer weather.

This is a stupid trend!

Eastern Washington decided to follow the trend that was started by Boise State, the color Turf craze. Boise State has the “Smurf Turf” and now Eastern Washington has decided to make a field of red.

Tim Tebow less then stellar

For some strange reason I want Tim Tebow to succeed in the NFL. I think I am in the minority here and now he decides he is going to struggle with rudimentary football tasks: taking a snap from center, dropping back to pass, and recognizing defenses.

Canada’s Love of Hockey Shown Through Water Usage

They have done this same test in the US during the Super Bowl and it still knocks me back at how we as humans love our competition.  After the Olympics they said that 80% of Canada watched the gold medal game and that means every second of the game. (Graph after the jump)
